Overview

Brief Summary

One useful effect of early intravitreal corticotherapy is to diminish inflammatory complications after endophthalmitis, which may cause, at least in part, serious complications (retinal detachment, macular edema) which are, more than the infection, causes of the complications seen after acute endophthalmitis.
